Friday Foolishness – Prolonged Edition

Finally, the week is almost over! I’ve been waiting for this since…well, Monday morning. How did I get through the week? By reading blogs! Here’s some of what I saw…Aussa Lorens posted tips about recognizing and dealing with a stalker. Giggles McJillturned up, and Mike wrote a fantastic reinterpretation of Goldilocks.Great stuff, from them and all of you.Last week left us looking back at some of the more foolish things we’ve done, and what, in fact, we regretted. And wow, do some of you have some sad tales! here’s what you said. (As always, my comments are remorseful in italics.)

Not wearing leotards in the winter when I was a teenager – Benzeknees(I don’t regret wearing the leotard. I regret not wearing anything over it.)Farting without a gas mask 😦 Andro(If only you had learned from previous mistakes…)Not calling in sooner… again 😦 Andro(I regret not calling out sooner.)Shouldn’t have broken the Multimedia projector in my uni&ran away(Lifeconfusions)(You ruined the lesson on the socio-militaristic implications of SpongeBob…)Dating a Man Twice My Age (Aussa Lorens)(As long as the next one doesn’t have just half your IQ.)sleeping with kato kaelin. but since this will never see the light of day…..(I regret knowing who kato was.)Taking off a slip before gym class. Finding it on class flag pole after. ~Maddie Cochere(I’d have just given gym class the slip.)Watching the Dexter finale. ~~Addie(Spoiler alert: Walter White did it.)A song by the Gazette! Yeah! Hotspur(I regret not finding out what hair gel that guy(?) uses.)regressing into regret. – calahan(At least you weren’t addressing an egret.)Never really taking a stand on plain or peanut. Linda Vernon(Where ever you stand, wash your feet after.)Not entering last week’s poll. Elyse 54.5(Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in!)It’s hard to have regrets when you’re perfect. –Lily In Canada(I regret my modesty.)spending five minutes trying to think of something to say here. thematticuskingdom(I regret my stats don’t incrememnt by the minute.)not having any regrets. thematticuskingdom(Showoff.)Washing down that cheeto burrito with Crystal Pepsi.(I regret not being closer to the bathroom when I did that.)not taking that left turn in Albuquerque! sandylikeabeach(Just don’t go there during wabbit season.)not changing my name to Guapola and becoming a famous blogger (SnB)(Crap! Does that guy know I’m using his name???)my ambition to be 5’9″ will never come to fruition – Rutabaga(I regret I didn’t stretch myself for that dream…)This is just an excuse to quote “My Way”, isn’t it? Not A Punk Rocker(I regret having a Frankie Says shirt with that on it.)Not being Canadian so I could have won last week’s poll (Frank)(On the other hand, that means Bieber isn’t your fault.)
(I hope.)

Another winnerless week, so Congratulations to everyone who avoided that stigma! And from the offered choices, the most popular were a tie between trying New Coke. and It was a weekend in Paris. The sun was warm…the wine had nose…the babies were smoking… So congratulations to everyone who can admit those terrible things to themselves!I think it’s obvious that I don’t spend a lot of time crafting these polls. But if I had the time, would I? And more importantly, if you had the time, what would you do? That’s what the inquiring minds at Guapo Labs want to know this week. But you don’t have forever to think about it, because this one closes at 2359 EDT, Wednesday, 23 October, so get your answers in by then.

Oh, get Rocksmith. Plug in an electric guitar and it will train you to play songs.
It won’t teach theory or any of that, but it will tell you what to press and when, at a difficulty level appropriate for you.

This has all been so unfortunate! I meant “tights” when I said leotards (what we called them here in Canada). They kept your legs warm so you didn’t grow up to get arthritis in your knees. Trying to be all bad-ass, I thought I was “too cool for school” went without in the winter at -40 degrees. But this has sparked some interesting conversation here!

I’m wondering here: can one do a flash mob request for a gentleman friend–at my age the word boyfriend sounds a little EWW!–and eventually work up to a flash mob proposal using walkers and oxygen tanks?

HA!!!!! Didn’t I say last week that my biggest regret is not making it into this post? Well guess what… that comment didn’t make it into this post… oh, the cruel irony…
This week, I am typing the same thing in this box and the voting box… and it isn’t about my private parts… If I was immortal, I would have more time to type stuff clever enough to get put on this blog!!!

Oh, if I didn’t know she’d say yes, I wouldn’t have bought the ring!
(I was perfectly content being her husband in everything but the paperwork. She wanted documentation so if something happened, there’d be no issues with medical or other decisions.)

Unfortunately I’m too late to enter my big recent regret: I broke my Levi’s jeans! The only jeans I had left. FML.
The Dostoyeski option, I like that one! I’ve made it through, but it was hard. Don’t even consider reading ‘Oblomov’…

“No winners” must be in honor of this week’s Washington news … but at least the DC news forgets that we’ve been losers … which we aren’t in Guapolandia! Thanks for the flash mob – but I kept waiting for the surprise ending.

Only two answers from me, I am definitely slipping… Anyway I just added two for this evening and I will be getting some more ideas, hopefully before this poll runs out 🙂 I enjoyed reading everyone’s answers, and chuckled away to some 🙂

Loved the video! I got a ho-hum proposal – Kelvin knew from the beginning I wanted to be married in our relationship. So after about 3 years he went & bought a ring & gave it to me. After 9/11 we looked at each other & asked what we were waiting for & put together a quickie wedding with a Justice of the Peace in our home 3 weeks later on our Cdn Thanksgiving.

I’m late to the Friday Foolishness party this week because I was busy making my own wedding-themed foolishness (not my wedding, thank God–one of my guy friends who is utterly lacking in judgment asked me to go with him to an out of town wedding…). I’ve gotten addicted to this, esp the parentheticals –the “half your IQ” comment is a classic!

EG this was thoroughly enjoying. So many of my fave bloggers. So many amusing remarks. I may have to double up on the oxy now.

I’d BETTER SEE SOME NAKED BAR DANCING PICS!
You think I got my ass up on the Spanky’s bar, all nekkid an’ shit, in the middle of a sweltering desert last July to make this bi-coastal celebration of stupidity one sided?.
Nay I say.
